Television documentary project "Mosaic in Green – Bangladesh"
Based upon the theme of the same book, the Ministry of Information, External Publicity Wing along with the Bangladesh Embassy in Bangkok launched the production of a television documentary in 2007.
This project involves filming of multiple locations in Bangladesh and will showcase, in video, the major attractions, natural landscape, culture and people of Bangladesh. Some footage will be used from the 2006 Thai television documentary made by Thai TV channel 3 but most footage will be newly shot and edited to match the theme of the book. It will be dubbed in five different languages. Thai independent filmmaker Manik Sethisuwan is currently commissioned by the Bangladesh Embassy in Bangkok to film and direct this project within Bangladesh.
